Hello,

How are you doing? I've looked on what changes there are for the version  
differences between 5.4 and 5.1. They've removed or implemented any of the  
methods which have /* not implemented */, added more functions (wide  
character support, screen manipulation, and much more). Its well worth the  
upgrade, but I feel it very inefficient how I've re rewrite the makefiles  
 from scratch just because I don't have 3 hours just to write makefiles. I  
want to hack the generated makefile in the build, but I know it wouldn't  
be accepted because its not standard.

Heres a link to the NEWS in CVS
code-exec dot net slash ncurses-5.4 slash NEWS

all modifications since 20000708(5.1 Release)

I'm still waiting patiently on joerg to complete Wide Character support  
for DragonFly. *smile*
